In the score, what is the rare life forms penalty for? It's pretty substantial.

::nodding:: A 25% penalty for rare life forms IS a substantial penalty, but then, it really does change the character and nature of the overall game. Not as many worms is generally a blessing for everybody but the Gaians, as your fledgling early-game bases don't have to worry about worm-rape. And, less fungus means more productive squares in their "natural" state.
Of course, if you wanna go to the other extreme and bulk up your score, play the Gaians on TI Transcend level with Rampant life forms. They don't mind the worms, and you get a healthy boost to you score.... -
